The defeat opened the doors for defending champion Duke to grab the top spot in both the coaches poll and the Inside Lacrosse media poll. The Blue Devils, already No. 1 with the media, bumped up to first place in the coaches poll by grabbing 11 of 14 first-place votes.

Duke remained in the top spot with 20 of 22 first-place votes, while the Terrapins vaulted from No. 5 to No. 2 with their win over a national championship favorite. Maryland was No 3 in the coaches poll and earned at least one first-place vote in each.

Virginia, Syracuse's opponent this weekend, is No. 4 in both polls after a 19-12 win over Rutgers.

The ACC holds the top four spots in both polls with North Carolina joining the other three.
